5 Day Contemplation & Meditation Retreat in Kastoria, Greece

Most people know Yoga as a physical practice and think of it as a form
of gymnastics. The practice of Yoga has a lot more to offer apart from
maintaining balance for good physical and mental well-being. While
health and contentment are necessary conditions for happiness, they are
not sufficient for complete emancipation. In this retreat Amritsagar and
Mathiós will put Yoga in context and explain how we can embrace life's
full potential.

Four contemplations are powerful in turning away from worldly concerns
and free us from hopes and fears:
(1) By appreciating our freedoms and opportunities we contemplate the
preciousness of a human birth.
(2) From now on we must make good use of this state as long as it lasts.
(3) We understand that depending on sense stimulation cannot provide
true happiness. Contemplating how conditioning keeps us bound up in
vicious circles, we naturally seek liberation.
(4) This needs careful consideration of how our actions shape what we
experience and how experience informs our actions.

In daily yoga sessions (asana and pranayama) and guided meditations we
will explore these four perspectives together.
